Kit Harington’s Game of Thrones costume smells of ‘wet dog’


Kit Harington’s ‘Game of Thrones’ costume smells of "wet dog".

The 28-year-old actor – who plays Night’s Watchman Jon Snow in the fantasy drama – has donned the same cloak in all five series of the show and admits the garment has seen better days.

He said: "When it rains, the cloaks smell like wet dog.

"I think I wear the same costume I’ve always worn since halfway through season one – the cloak has got years of s**t on it now."

Despite its dark subject matter, Kit insists working on the show is a lot of fun and he has made a number of close friends.

He said: "We have such fun, us in the Night’s Watch. We’re good friends now.

"The hours we spend in a freezing green room [between scenes] chatting s**t to each other up at Castle Black are as important, I think, for the scenes we do being brothers-in-arms.

"I mean, this isn’t a Lars von Trier movie. It’s a fantasy and if you can’t laugh at yourself in a cloak, you’ve missed the point."

The hunky actor particularly enjoys the sword fighting scenes.

He told heat magazine: "I really enjoy it now. It’s all about deftness of movement, fluidity and knowing exactly where the sword is to be drawn and brought down."
